[SOLVED] Should I get a new tower to lower gpu temperature along with better air flow?

Hi, folks. I recently updated my pc build and I'm satisfied with it. However, I noticed that my GPU (Asus RTX 2070 super) has temps around 70s when gaming and as time goes by (and my room temp) it gets to around 74-75. I know that these types of GPUs can handle hotter temps, but I personally would like to stay on the safe side and try to maintain around 60's with 70 being the highest I'd reach. I have done some research and one solution is opening my display case to let some hot air out. That did help with lowering GPU temps and maintaining around 60's, but the obvious downside is that my tower is open to more dust. I currently have one case fan and was thinking of either getting new case fans to help with air flow or buying a new tower along with new case fans. For the record, I did install MSI afterburner to control the GPU fan and that sorta worked along with opening my tower. Any suggestions/opinions?

Yeah go for the new case with some fans (add as much as possible).

Thanks! I was probably gonna end up upgrading to a new one with fans anyway, but its nice to hear others opinions too. Appreciate the link, too.
